School Plans Held
Up By Court Issue
Not only are students inconven

but the majority of the school
boards are either not hiring high

authorizing the board to cancel
them in case the tuition law Is
invalidated.
Members of the various school

"Sign no Petitions" Slogan
Adopted to Combat Plan
For Consolidation
MONMOUTH, June 2 (Spe
cial) A large group of Mon
mouth citizens gathered at the
Odd Fellows hall tonight for a
public hearing on the proposed
initiative measure for the consol
idation of the Oregon schools of
higher education and the removal
of the normal schools to Eugene.
H. W. Moreland, president of
the Monmouth commercial club,
presided over the meeting and in
his remarks urged that the con
solidation initiative be conclu
sively discouraged before July 7,
else a four months battle would
have to be waged.
Dr. Moreland suggested that
the people's slogan should be
"Sign no petition."
Alexander G. Brown, secretary
of the University of Oregon alum
ni association, reviewed the pro
posed consolidation and sketched
the effect it would have on each
of the school communities.
Brown stated that he had no
fight with Oregon State college
nor with any of the normal
schools, but was certain that oc
cupation of the University of Ore
gon buildings at Eugene by the
normal schools would mean 80
per cent waste and only 20 per
cent use.
It was decided to send letters
to each alumnus of Monmouth
normal, urging them to sign no
petitions until fully acquainted
with the facts.

Still Awaited
The Carson-McMahan contro
versy which is rapidly developing
into a feud, took on new angles
yesterday when Judge McMahan
characterized Carson's test suit
tiled Wednesday as an action "be

litigation never seen before in the
state.
"Seemingly there is a 'Joker'
somewhere in this 'friendly' meth
od of settling an affair in which

characterised both sides in the

Immediately replied to McMahan's
pronouncement by the statement
that not only the county court
but anv citizen in the county
could loin as defendants In the
action and that Judge McMahan
himself could take such a role if
he saw fit. Carson explained that
he had brought the- suit as plain
tiff, only because no other party
seemed willing to have tne mat

"I asked for a declaratory Judg

the conferees left the committee

simple statement that they had
reached a complete agreement as
suring a balance of revenue and

Details of the final form of the
bill were withheld pending its
submission in the house tomorrow
noon, but it was learned that the
Increased Income tax rates voted

Senator Watson of Indiana, the
republican leader, and Senator
Harrison of Mississippi, the dem

Under-Secretary Ballantyne of

So swift was the action of the

The bill, to be taken up in the

mittee last night said they would
recommend to the city council
Monday night that It permit the
transportation company to oper
ate its local street busses on a
30-minute schedule on Sundays,
holidays and after I o'clock every
night. No one appeared to protest
the ordinance which changes the
service in question from 20 to 30
minutes.
A large number of Salem fuel
dealers appeared to present their
case In favor of a 8100 license
for themselves. Their aim Is to
eliminate peddlers of wood and
obtain revenue for the city from
outside fuel comnanles. This li
cense would net the city around
82500 annually, they estimated.
Chairman - Chris Kowlta, uai
Patton and David O'Hara of the
committee did not put their ap
proval on the measure. This was
not necessary since the ordinance
had not yet been presented to the
council. The committee expressed
the fear that the license measure
might work a hardship on the
farmers and also prevent local
residents from taking fuel in pay
ment of bills due them.
A new ordinance setting the
minimum ball which the munici
pal Judge can call for at the mini
mum fine, except In the case of
overtime parking offenses, will be
Introduced Into the council soon.
It was reported.
The committeemen spoke favor
ably of an ordinance to make li
teral the possession of an onreg
istered still, and other amending
the traffle code to coincide wiin
state traffic laws.
